Awesome AD & 2 Daytona’s later
Happy Thursday Everyone,

I purchased my first Rolex last week after seeking advice on the two tone black vs white dial Daytona here :) Thanks for all your input!

After purchasing my watch at the AD, I quietly pulled the awesome SA aside (my husband was with me) and told him that I was looking for the SS Daytona for him as our anniversary is coming up. He told me to give him a week and to call him Wednesday. I did and yesterday he told us to come in. So, long story short. My hubs got his dream watch.

It was significantly easier than I had imagined because after reading so many posts on here I realized how difficult it is to get your hands on one. We weren’t customers prior to my tt Daytona so maybe we just got lucky!

I’m adding a photo of my watch too because tt is just as gorgeous! :)

Incredible! Congrats on both watches....

Pretty crazy, others buy multiple watches and jewelry and wait months, even years with no success...and you got one within a week of asking for it.... I guess timing is everything!

Wowow that TT Daytona looks stunning with the white dial & gold sub dials. Couple of show stoppers right there, very nice.

Amazing Gives hope for the general TRF population where we're all waiting patiently (or impatiently) for our AD's to get back to us.

Congrats on both watches!

What the actual ...

That’s awesome! That has to be the shortest wait for a Daytona in recent history especially with that level of purchase history. You definitely have an amazing SA. Cherish that relationship and I’m sure you can continue to get just about any watch you want.

I think so! He’s not your typical sales guy. Really down to earth and kind.
